The Brompton Hospital for Consumptives,
in London, reports that over fifty people
out every hundred consumPtives, are victims
of constipated or inactive kidneys
Consumption is one Of our national dis
eases, and the above report goes to prove
what has often been said in our columns dur
Ing tie last eight years, that kidney troubles
are not only the cause of more than hall the
cases OF consumption, but Of ninety out or
every hundred other common diseases. They
who have taken this position, made their
claims after an elaborate investigation, and
their proof that they have discovered spe-
cific for the terrible and stealthy kidney dis
eases, which have become so prevalent
among us, is wise and convincing.
We have recently received from them q
fresh supply of their wonderful advertising.
They have challenged the medic al profession
and science to investigate. They have in
vestigated, and those who are frank have
admitted the truth of their statements.
They claim that ninety per cent. of diseases
come originally from inactive kidneys; that
these inactive kidneys allow the blto to be-
come filled with uric acid poison: that this
uric acid poison in the blood carries disease
through every organ.
There is enough uric acid developed in the
system within twenty four hours to kill half
dozen men.
This being scientific fact, it requires only
ordinary wisdom to see the effect inactive
kidneys must have upon the system.
If this poison is notremoved, it ruins every
organ. If the bowels, stomach or liver BE-
come inactive, we know it at once, but other
organs help them out. If the kidneys become
constipated and dormant, the warning comes
later ON, and often when it is too late, be.
cause the effects are remote from the kidneys
and those ore ans are notIsuspected to be out
of order
Organs that ere weak and diseased are un.
able to resist the attacks of this poison, and
the disease often takes the form Of and is
treated as local afliiction, when in reality
the real cause of the trouble was inactive
kidneys
Too many medical men of the present day
hold what was fact twenty years ago, that
kidney disease is incurable, according to the
medicines authorized by their code. Hence,
they ignore the original cause of disease it
self, and give their attention to useless treat
ing of local effects.
They dose the patient with quinine, NOR
phine, or with salts and other physics, hop
ing that thus nature may cure the disease,
while the kidneys continue to waste away
with inflammation, liberation and decay, and
the victim eventually perisbes
The same quantity of blood that passes
through the heart, passes through the kidneys.
If the kidneys are diseased, the blood sopks up
this disease and takes it all through the sys-
tenn. Hence it is, that the claim is made that
Warmers safe cure, the only known spe-
cifc for kidney diseases, cures 80 per cent.
of human ailments, because it, and 1t alone,
Is able to maintain the natural activity OF the
kidneys, and to neut,a alize and remove the
uric acid, or kidney poison, as fast as it is
formed.
If this acid Is notremoved, there is inactiv-
ity of the kidneys, and there will be produced
in the system paralysis, apoplexy, dyspep-
sia, consumption, heart disease, headaches,
rheumatism, pneumonia, impotency and all
the nameless diseases of delicate women. If
the poisonous matter is separated from the
in majority of cases, would not exist.
1t only requires q PARTICLE of smallpox
virus to produce that vile disease, and the
poisonous matter from the kidneys, passing
all through the system and becoming lodged
at different weak points, is equally destruc-
tive, although more disguised.
If it were possible for us to see into the
kidneys and low quickly the blood assing
through them goes to the heart and lungs and
other parts Of the system, carrying this
deadly virus with it. all would believe with.
out hesitation what hns so often been stated
in advertisements in these columns, that the
kidneys are the most important organs in the
body.
They may regard this article as an adver-
tisement and refuse to believe it, but that is
q matter over which we have no control.
Careful investigation and science itself are
proving beyond doubt that this organ is,
in fact, more important than any other in
the system as health regulator, and as such
should be closely watched for the least sign
of disordered action.
